Best Answer

The religious practices of ancient Egypt changed over the course of its long history and at any given point there were many coexisting religions that differed from each other in many ways. But one general concept held for all of them. The body had to be preserved in order for the person whose body it was to enjoy an afterlife. In early dynasties, mummification was done only for the pharaohs and the very well to do. By the mid and later dynasties, more and more people were able to afford the process.
